Forklift accidents on the rise - Industrial Compliance

Forklift accidents on the rise - Industrial Compliance: The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has reported an industry wide increase in serious forklift truck accidents, prompting Briggs Equipment to urge fleet managers not to lose sight of the importance of health and safety in a tough economic environment.

Latest figures from the HSE reveal a four percent increase in serious accidents involving forklift trucks, the first rise in two years, and Briggs believes that this may be due to some businesses cutting corners to reduce costs.
